-
military defense of the Paris Region is a guy called Gallieni,
-
g-a-l-l-i-e-n-i, and he conscripts the taxis of
-
Paris.
-
And, so, the Parisian taxis literally carry soldiers out to
-
fight in the Battle of the Marne, which can be clearly heard, to
-
repeat myself, in Paris; that there was a sense of impending
-
doom, obviously.
-
But the miracle occurs and the British pour through another gap in
-
the German armies further up, along the Aisne River,
-
a-i-s-n-e, and force them to retreat forty miles back.
-
And that's the largest exchange of real estate that would occur until
-
1918, because of what happens next.
